I haven't made a thread in this section in like 6 years but oh my god we gotta talk about this show
I've not screamed at a TV this much in forever. I've heard the phrase "werewolf conversion therapy" come out of someone's mouth, seen a cosmic monster who was framed threatened with jail time, seen the real cosmic monster confess to literally everything right in front of Wednesday in the middle of the police station with a damn witness just vibing in the corner and get away, said cosmic monster reveal he scratched himself to misdirect everybody Aces & Eights style, WEREWOLF CONVERSION THERAPY DUDE WHAT THE f***
And yet I haven't stopped watching it so I think I enjoy it? Like the casting is pretty much perfect and I do actually care for the ppl I'm supposed care about so that's already like 10 steps above the Resident Evil Netflix show that I thought was absolutely awful except for Lance Reddick being hilarious and having too many damn clones.

I haven't watched the show, but I am just reiterating that I hope this all leads to a live action adaptation of Fester's Quest.

They threatened a cosmic horror shapeshifting monster with the penal system I genuinely will watching season 2 on release.

Looking up info on this show I feel like I'd find it utterly impossible not to laser focus fixate on it having a character named Enid and just want to watch OK KO instead. ... Hell, the werewolf conversion therapy thing was already making me think of the show as it is given the Enid-coming-out-as-a-ninja subplot in that show.

Just finished Episode 7, and wow. There’s a lot of thoughts here.
I understand it’s mostly perspective here, but in the show, Wednesday is a novelist. She’d know the tropes, the misdirection, everything. Hell, she was given a major clue and outright ignores it because she believes she’s always right.
I understand this is a new take on the Wednesday character, and not to compare it to any previous iterations. But this version feels too cold, too stubborn, and constantly gets in her own way to the point where she feels too unlikeable.
I’m now about twenty minutes into Episode 8, and she’s still out here trying to act cold and aloof, asking people for help, when she’s not showing any growth or remorse. The only person she’s shown any kindness to is Enid and that was like pulling teeth until the end of Episode 7. This character and interpretation is a choice, I just feel like it’s done too CW style and is a disservice to the character.

One day I would like to see a version of Wednesday that goes back to the B&W series where she is a seemingly normal happy little girl who just like macabre things. |
